writing, 7% hit from sandy, big wireless numbers. the stock is down 30 cents. so i renew my efforts. find me something, what is wrong with verizon. i don't see it. find me what is wrong. nothing. just the questions of the margins. it is kind of unknowable. and then i'm over across the street. it was a much worse than expected quarter. >> verizon eps misses, reads the tombstone. so it's natural when the gang at squawk comes at me and ask what i thought of a rise in. i don't know. nothing wrong i can see. it is fine. and earnings season, fine doesn't cut it. the stock is either great or bad. it's either a buyer or a cell and a shortfall is bad. all of this, mind you, is coming in a total vacuum, and what verizon is going to say about the margins, what's left after the cost of selling the goods, we don't know. yet the stock is trading heavily and all down hill. so i guess it's a really bad. i pretty much intimate that by the time our morning show begins. i'm beaten down. and taken to the canvas defending this horizon. no sooner do i embrace the negative action tha
